Firms must be ACDBE-certified prior to bid submission to be considered for participation toward any ACDBE contract goal. Post-bid certification concerns must be addressed and approved by the DBELO.
To view a list of ACDBE-certified firms, visit the Louisiana Unified Certification Program site: www.LAUCP.org -> UCP Directory Search -> Select Airport Concession from the “Type Service” drop-down box.
Unified Certification Program (UCP)
In order to comply with regulatory mandates, the NOAB has collectively joined with the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development (LADOTD), the LADOTD New Orleans DBE Office and the New Orleans Regional Transit Authority to develop and implement uniform procedures for (AC)DBE certification. This program eliminates the necessity for (AC)DBE firms to complete multiple applications, as certification decisions are reciprocally accepted throughout the UCP membership in Louisiana.
For further information on the UCP, please go to: www.LAUCP.org.

ACDBE Certification
In order to comply with our ACDBE Program, the New Orleans Aviation Board (NOAB) has established a DBE office and has appointed a DBE Liaison Officer (DBELO) to coordinate and administer the program and plan. The first step in the certification process is to complete and submit an ACDBE application to the DBELO at the Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport. The DBELO then conducts a site visit to verify status and issue a decision. The NOAB will certify only those businesses which are at least fifty-one percent (51%) owned and controlled by persons who are socially and economically disadvantaged.
